What’s important to me:
My family (including my Corgi/Australian Shepherd Mix, Beau)

I’m passionate about:
Being a life-long learner. I am always picking up new hobbies or taking classes or attending webinars. I love learning new things and exploring new places.

What scares me:
I will not watch a scary movie. I even cover my ears during the scary movie trailers in the movie theater. The last scary movie I watched was “When a Stranger Calls” in middle school and it was traumatic enough to not watch one since. My fear of ticks is a close second.

Fun fact:
The first word I could spell was “Minnesota” because my dad taught me the University of Minnesota rouser when I was two years old.

Inspirational quote or motto:
“Sometimes you gotta work a little so you can ball a lot.” -Tom Haverford, “Parks and Recreation”
